About this listen

Welcome to the Rising Tribes Podcast — where raw conversations meet real growth.

Hosted by two former professional athletes turned husbands, fathers, and high-performance leaders, this is the podcast for people who look like they’ve got it all together… but still carry the silent weight of pressure, expectation, and self-doubt.

We talk about what most people only think about — the stuff that lives in your chest and keeps you up at night. From marriage and parenting to sex, business, faith, fitness, money, mental health, and the quiet battle of “am I enough?” — nothing is off-limits here.

Alongside our wives and powerful guests, we’re building a tribe of everyday warriors who are deeply rooted in character and relentlessly rising in every area of life.

This isn’t therapy. It’s not self-help fluff.
It’s honest, bold, unfiltered conversation — with people who get it.

Because the strongest tribes don’t fake it. They rise together.

  • EP 25: Living a Full Life in a Busy Season
    Jan 26 2026

    Most people don’t fail because they aren’t motivated.
    They fail because motivation eventually runs out.

    In this episode, Nick and Brax answer real listener questions around fitness discipline, marriage, business, and life—and why relying on hype, motivation videos, or New Year’s energy is a losing strategy.

    They break down:

    • Why discipline matters more than motivation
    • How routines and identity shape consistency
    • Training alone vs training with accountability
    • What it actually takes to stay fit as a busy parent
    • How to win at work without losing your marriage or family
    • Why real success is built in the things nobody sees

    This is a grounded, honest conversation about showing up when it’s inconvenient, setting standards for yourself, and building a life you’re proud of—at home, in your body, and in your work.

    If you’re tired of chasing motivation and ready to live with intention, this one’s for you.

  • EP 23: Faith Is Caught, Not Taught

    Most parents try to teach faith. Kids actually absorb it.

    In this episode, Nick and Braxston break down why leading spiritually isn’t about forcing routines, perfect prayers, or having all the answers—it’s about how you live when no one’s watching.

    They talk about the power of example, the danger of pressure, and why kids don’t need perfect parents—they need consistent ones. From prayer habits and church culture to sports, school, and expectations, this episode reframes what real leadership at home looks like.

    Simple. Honest. Practical.

  • EP 23: How we handle different seasons of growth in marriage...
    Jan 12 2026

    Send us a text

    In this episode of the Rising Tribes Podcast, we talk honestly about what happens when growth inside a marriage isn’t perfectly aligned.

    We cover:

    • What to do when one person starts changing before the other
    • How fitness, nutrition, finances, and faith can create tension—or alignment
    • Why lifestyle is bigger than just goals or motivation
    • The difference between pulling someone up and pulling them back
    • How standards—not motivation—shape long-term relationships

    We share real stories from our own marriages, including seasons where growth felt mismatched, uncomfortable, or even frustrating—and how those seasons ultimately made us stronger.

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re growing, changing, or raising your standards and weren’t sure how to navigate that with your spouse, this conversation is for you.

    This isn’t theory. It’s real life. And it’s part of building a lifestyle that actually lasts.
